Xintai

Things to Do in Xintai (2026)

The pottery village at Shilihe is worth the trip, but don't expect a polished tourist operation. I went on a weekday and ended up being the only visitor, so the potter spent extra time showing me how...

Leshan

Things to Do in Leshan (2026)

The Giant Buddha boat cruise tip is spot on. I'd add that if you go on a weekday, the morning mist over the river makes the whole thing feel like a painting. For food, skip the tourist-heavy spots nea...

Petaling Jaya

Best Food in Petaling Jaya (2026)

This is a solid guide and covers most of the classics. I'd add that the char koay teow at the SS2 hawker centre mentioned here is actually a bit inconsistent depending on which stall you pick. The one...

Cagayan de Oro

Best Food in Cagayan de Oro (2026)

The guide nailed the sinuglaw at Kagay-anon, but I'd add that their grilled native chicken is just as good and comes with a really tangy dipping sauce. If you're near the night market on Corrales, loo...

Tokyo

Shinjuku Late Night Ramen?

So, I'm heading to @Tokyo next month, super hyped! Planning a late-night ramen run after a long day exploring Shinjuku. Saw this Family Mart near the Shinjuku ward office, figured it'd be a good spot...

Toyama's Hidden Noodle Shops?

I'm heading to Toyama next week, super stoked to explore the city. I've heard whispers of incredible, tiny ramen shops tucked away in alleyways, the kind you only find if you know a local. These place...

Lost in Translation at Lawson's?

So, I was in Shinjuku, grabbing a late-night snack at the Lawson Three-F Okubo-dori. It's always packed, buzzing with salarymen and students alike. I tried ordering in Japanese, butchering the pronunc...
